Thanks, and don't get me wrong I was happy to do that well (although I just hit the kind of hand that always doubles you up, AA vs. AJ flop comes AJx), but there was $300 for 2,000 and up and I got all-in AK vs. QJ. If the AK had held up I would have pretty much been guaranteed another $120, although I'm not really upset since we both played it the way we had to, it was a turbo, just very very high stakes.

Update:

After almost 6k hands after that last post, I've been running at 4.61 BB/100 and am up $136.60 not counting that tournament win. I'm very happy with that, it corresponds to about $15/hour. Obviously I know it hasn't been long-term, but I definitely haven't been on a super heater. I think I'm playing much better poker after concentrating on 2 main things. First off increasing my aggression and second off not paying off opponents when I'm probably beat. I almost didn't post this OP just because I thought it was a bit too self-centered, but it sounds like other people had the same problem. Hope it's going well for everyone else with the same problem (well, for everyone regardless of if they did actually ).

Those are the two biggest leaks I have. Not extracting enough value and not giving draws bad odds by btting to small in relation to pot size and not folding to aggression enough when I have a medium strengt hand.

We are very much alike except that I win at 18bb/100 over 25k hands at $25NL (<-- shameless self brag ). Note bb=$0.25

lol ouch. That one hurts

But in all seriousness good job, looks like we should both be moving up to 50nl soon, where I'm sure you'll outperform me there as well

Down 6 buy-ins over 6k hands in the 2 shots at $50NL ive taken.

Decided it better to sort my bet sizing and folding on later streets out at $25NL and then move up.

Maybe im just on a 25K hand heater?
